You know you’re living in the Swedish countryside when…
…three moose take up residence in your backyard. Three moose moved into the woods behind our backyard . They’ve moved on now, but for a few days they would come out several times a day into our backyard to munch on the grass and small trees. Having just moved here, I can only assume that this is normal and that all Swedish families have pet moose.
Our moose are named Maja, Kalle, and Pontus. Maja is the mother, and Kalle and Pontus are yearlings (moose that were born last year). Apparently Maja didn’t have any more moose babies this year, so Kalle and Pontus are still hanging around.
OOh How wonderful... I don't think it is usual to have Moose as pets in your garden lol!
ReplyDeleteYou are very lucky! Whilst we have seen a dozen or so, since we have been here, they are usually quiet, shy animals. Fantastic they made themselves at home and great photographs.
A memory to cherish. Loove the names by the way ;-D
...Pontus, Kalle, Maja....Now that you've named them, maybe I'll skip the plan I had of making moose stew on our visit over midsommar. Maybe something with Chanterelles or Lingon instead....
